After a laborious job of grinding down the side cover, as it was warped and leaking. Wetsandeded on a mirror, new gasket, tight as a drum!

When you forget to put down the kickstand. Punctured Dyna cover by the gear changer. Impossibile to find. So I am going to have some C&C made. I guess it is common, because they are only 2mm or so thick. So I am going have them made twice as thick. Patched with compound to stop the leaks enough to get it to the shop.

Yeah, I know, some of you purists would say the case covers should be silver, drums, etc, but, I like em polished, and that's the great thing about these bikes, you can put your own twist on em! And, yeah, also the seat is too puffy. I am redoing that.....

This is Gus, Angus McTavish McPhee, to be precise. He loves to lie there while I work on my blog, my site, and my bike. Still have to get him some goggles and a leather helmet to go riding.

So, my first Honda Dream 305 bike. Vintage 1966. Compression was good, charging system was shot. Mostly though, in good shape. Lots of cosmetic stuff to do, lots of parts to find on ebay. Hence, starts my journey through the rust, grease, paint, frustration, and glee of riding. Also, the beginning of my new business manufacturing parts for these wonderful, quirky, beautiful, nostalgic, vintage
